The Makeup Drawer

Thursday, April 18, 2013

Everyone's got their own unique makeup storage set-up. Mine was formerly in the shape of a chaotic mess scattered across the top of my dresser. But I wised up quickly. After losing one too many eyeliners into the black hole that was the space behind my dresser, I decided to invest in some small, stackable drawers from IKEA. Recently my room has been changed around a bit, and some new furniture was bought and assembled. Since then, my teensy makeup collection has seen an architectural upgrade, and now has an entire drawer in my dresser to call home. And while the whole "drawers inside drawers" thing may fall slightly into the ever-confusing realm of inception, I have to say that this is the best set-up my makeup has seen thus far. That is not to say that I haven't had my eye on some MUJI storage for some time, but those sleek, transparent containers will have to be put on the back burner until the need actually arises.

Everything looks super organised now! I have most of my collection in two 4-drawer clear plastic storage boxes. I also have my eye on Muji but it's not available where I live - plus I don't think it'd hold as much as my current set up.
